Stickers on the cellophane around albums. If they're just quotes from mags, fine, they're disposable, but sometimes they have arty bits and logos and whatever, and it's annoying to throw them away. Sometimes I peel them off and stick them on the back of the album.

is much less horrible with the sticker on it. But it comes off with the plastic. I got revenge on them though by leaving the sticker on Merriweather Post Pavilion even though it says "Please remove this sticker after purchase". DICKS.

All his CDs are organised autobiographically, so as he buys them, he just sticks them at the end of his shelves. He also has a written list in case anyone moves them. It's sort of autistic, but in a way it's quite cool to pick up one from the beginning and see an MVC price tag on it and think THOSE WERE THE DAYS.

Price stickers are piss easy. Just remove it really slowly. Ive worked in music retail for far too long now, it annoys me that fuckers cant remove a sticker properly. Gently chip away the top of the sticker with the nail, then slowly remove. Slowly. No remnants.

I once saw this nerdy-looking middle-aged guy wandering about Fopp in Covent Garden whilst continually looking in his Oyster card wallet. I thought it was some kind of nervous tic until I looked over his shoulder and he had a smorgasbord of different price labels stuck in there to choose from.

I followed him around for a bit - I guess he was pretty brazen or I just didn't look much like a store detective - and he'd pick something up for £15, stick a £3 sticker on it instead, repeat a few times, and then he took it all to the counter.

I guess you're relying on the counter staff zoning out when they're sticking it through the till, but maybe you can blag your way out of it if you get caught and blame it on staff error? I was a little mesmerised by his efforts to be honest.
